i am a consumer and i don't mind.

one day last week i was having a pretty crappy day. i decided to do a little shopping after work because that always seems to lift my spirits. i went to loehmann's where i found two items i adore and for a fraction of what they normally retail for. 

i found this trench by mackage which retails for $495. i only paid $60!!! it fits like a glove.

this is my ultimate find. i actually did a double take when i saw this..it may not seem like much, but i think it's super cute and..it's vivienne westwood! i don't know if that means anything to you, but she's one of my favorite (wacky) designers. she is the pioneer of punk fashion and is still going on strong in her late sixties. her stuff is pretty hard to find. okay so...this bag would retail for almost $400. again, $60!!!
